Division 2.2.2 Description of the project

• Upgrading of security systems in up to two SALW storage sites in Belarus, in accordance with OSCE Best Practices on SALW, including through the installation and/or refurbishment of necessary electrical installations, primary fire-fighting capability, perimeter fencing and lighting, intruder detection and alarm systems, as well as telecommunications equipment for enhanced security;

• Improvement and/or establishment of up to three SALW storage sites in Kyrgyzstan, in accordance with OSCE Best Practices on SALW, including through installation and/or refurbishment of perimeter fencing and lightning, secure storage building doors and windows, intruder alarm systems, close circuit television cameras (CCTV) and telecommunications equipment.

The OSCE Secretariat and the UNDP Belarus Office will identify in cooperation with relevant Belarusian and Kyrgyz authorities the storage sites in need of security upgrades and will define the exact sites to be upgraded with the support of this Decision, in consultation with the HR and competent Council bodies. All activities except those related to upgrades of SALW storage sites in Belarus will be implemented by the OSCE Secretariat. In Belarus, the activities will be implemented by the UNDP Belarus Office because the OSCE does not have an appropriate representation and legal status in Belarus and also because the implementation of this part of the project by the UNDP Belarus Office is more cost-effective in comparison to a Vienna-based project management by the OSCE. The role of the OSCE in the overall project coordination and implementation oversight related to the selection of storage sites and safety and security measures to be implemented, annual work plans, quality control of completed works and the national contribution of the government of Belarus will remain. The Governments of Belarus and Kyrgyzstan will provide support to the project through financial contribution and/or in-kind contribution, as appropriate.
